iQOO President Feng Yufei shared a video on Weibo showing a pool table with a ball with the number eight hitting and sinking a ball with the number four. However, there is no confirmation in the post itself. It is believed that a new iQOO smartphone is coming on August 4. The eight ball could also be a reference to the iQOO 8.
In addition, a Weibo tipster WHYLAB has shared an image that confirms the iQOO 8 moniker and confirms the August 4 launch. The tipster reveals that the phone will launch at 2:30 PM China time.

Meanwhile, Digital Chat Station also says that iQOO 8 has model number V2141A. He also says that it will come with a 1,440×3,200 pixels display that has a high refresh rate. The tipster adds that the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC and come with 12GB of RAM with 4GB extended memory. The phone may also come with 256GB of storage and run OriginOS 1.0 based on Android 11.
On the other hand, speculations are also rife that it could also debut 160W fast charging. This is thanks to an iQOO 8 marketing prop which did sport a new Flash Charge sign possibly hinting at the 160W solution. However, this is just pure speculation at this point and there’s no official word from iQOO yet so take this info with caution.
